Randle
James Young
Andrew and Aaron Harrison
Willie Cauley-Stein

All expected to enter draft. I think the Harrison twins could stick, the others I can see it. Young is a pretty good player, I think he's ready. Cauley-Stein is a freak of nature 7 footer with athleticism, if he can get the chance, might as well take it.


What would that leave Kentucky?

Well Marcus Lee and Dakari Johnson will be back, Alex Poythress should be back. All 3 were once 5 star players, and all have skills, but all play in the post. Kentucky is bringing in 4 players at the moment. The #8 ranked player in the country, Trey Lyles 6-10 PF and the #11th ranked best player in the country, 6-11 Karl Towns. So that will give Kentucky FIVE, FIVE star post players on the roster next season. Kentucky will bring in 2 Four star guards as well. Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis. So if the twins and Young leave, Kentucky's guard play will be very shaky next season.

And as far as late commitments, the top rated uncommitted player is another 6-11 Center. So no help coming that route.

ESPN just gave Kentucky the uber early #3 preseason ranking, if I were making a list....I'd have them further down. No way will they have the guard play to be a top 5 team.

The Harrison twins don't belong in the NBA they have a lot of work before they will even be considered. After watching last night I can honestly say they might have hurt Kentucky in the end. They were lacsadaisical and sometimes I forgot they were even on the court.

I agree, but just about any mock draft has them going, and going in the first round at that.
